I would love a way to control Blackout, input selection, brightness, etc... for Novastar Processors like the VX4s and the MCTRL6000.

I am able to control these processors using a series of Hex values sent as a TCP packet, but I would love to be able to control them with Companion. Most of these processors use a generic instruction set, and I would be happy to send you information about them if it would help.

Someone is actively working on this. I contributed working code here (https://github.com/bitfocus/companion-module-novastar-vx4s) and another developer has created modules also.

I've seen the Bitfocus 2.0 developed by Ritesh Patel, but I don't want a WHOLE different companion app... it doesn't look stable for production.

Is there a way to add this module into Companion?

When a module is ready it can be added to the core. Software is open source you anybody can make their own builds. I would not advise to use those as you cannot know from which state Companion has been copied

So is this Novastar module not ready yet?

Well I believe instead of sharing to code to us, the guy decided to build its own version. That being said there is a request to him for sharing the module as he is using "our" main code also

We are working to get this included into Companion 2.0. Stay tuned.

Update index.js
1b09a62 
found few mistakes in code

#1 was missing "break;" on line 170
#2 there was error line # 190  with PIP ON OFF  - CHOICES_SCALING changed it to  CHOICES_PIP_ONOFF
#3 variable definition in block vs global of Element was changed as this caused syntax error in JS 
#4 line 290 -293 are not really needed .. it does not need to send connection string but i left it alone for now, its just unnecessary in our case
